The Finite Simple Groups

Focusing on the classification of finite simple groups, this book serves as a comprehensive introduction to the subject, highlighting the significant advancements made since the Classification Theorem for Finite Simple Groups was completed in 2004. It organizes the groups into four essential types: alternating, classical, exceptional, and sporadic, providing a clear framework for understanding their properties. The text also references classic and contemporary works on permutation groups, offering a rich context for students and researchers eager to explore this complex area of mathematics.
